WWE draft 2023 on RAW continued with Shawn Michaels being the host of the next round along with….. Adam Pearce? Really? As Shawn Michaels was about to announce the next draft pick for Monday Night RAW, Brock Lesnar made an interference and crowd went really wild hearing his theme song.
He entered the ring and asked the home crowd how did it feel to look at the real and only Cowboy of WWE. Before he could continue, Adam Pearce came out with multiple security guards and requested him to leave. He also threatened him that if he did not leave on his own, the security guards would make him leave.

The numbers of the security guards were pretty high. Before they could continue on anything, Cody Rhodes came out. He attacked Brock from behind but Brock managed to escape as the security guards surrounded him. Finally the security guards were able to prevent the fight between Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes.
The next round of the draft continued along with Shawn Michaels only with Adam Pearce was nowhere to be seen. Monday night RAW got the WWE Women’s Tag Team champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. We seriously hope that they do not roam from brand to brand with these titles. WWE should introduce another women’s title for SmackDown and it should be used as the mid card title.
The next week for SmackDown was the Empress of Tomorrow Asuka. There were rumours that Asuka was looking for a release from WWE. But as long as she is a part of the draft and got drafted, we seriously hope that she is not going anywhere and continues her feud with Bianca Belair.
The New Day had been drafted to Monday Night RAW next. But there were only Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods who got drafted as The New Day. Unfortunately, there was no mention of Big E. We seriously hope he gets well soon and he returns to action. He was in the peak of his career and he seriously did not deserve this.
The Brawling Brutes were the next team to be drafted and they had been drafted to Friday Night Smackdown. That means there would be no more alliance between Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. And it is pretty unfortunate that Sheamus would not get to feud for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Backstage the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were seen talking to each other. They looked puzzled if they get to keep their SmackDown Tag Team championships they would have to vacate it for Smackdown. Matt Riddle joined them and expressed his happiness as all of them stayed on RAW.
Match 3 – Matt Riddle defeated Jimmy Uso
This match was booked for only four and a half minutes and it was a pretty fun match. Owens and Sami were Riddle’s corner who tricked Jey to be escorted out of the arena. They used the vintage Eddie Guerrero technique. Riddle’s win was not clean either. He received outside assistance from the Tag Team champions.
